We left our campground early to continue on with the wildlife viewing portion of our road trip. First we saw a mamma bear crossing the road quickly followed by her three cute cubs:

Further along a motorcycle rider driving south made us a signal to slow down, soon after we saw this big guy on the side of the road apparently enjoying a good snack:

Just as we thought that was the reason for the motorcyclist’s signals, we encountered a bit of a road block: a herd of wood bison crossing the highway:

We also saw a truck that had hit a moose. It was quite impressive to see how such a huge truck could be damaged so badly by one animal. Past of Fort Nelson we had to stop at the Tetsa River Campground as they proclaimed they had amazing cinnamon buns. Maybe it was a combination of the remoteness and the many miles travelled, but I’ll tell you those cinnamon buns sure were tasty! After that Alaska Highway culinary experience we drove a bit more and stopped for a couple of hours at Muncho Lake.

I wish we could have stayed here longer, I absolutely loved this lake with its quiet splendor and its very cool waters.

We made a quick stop at Liard River Hot Springs, were attacked by mosquitoes and so didn’t stay too long. The day ended on a delicious note as we made s’mores by our campfire that night, that was my very first s’more, and it won’t be my last! 🙂 The next day we would be headed to Watson Lake and the quaint Sign Post Forest, but more of that on the next post.
